Portland, Oregon doom-gazers MEGATON
LEVIATHAN recently wrapped up a tour
with cerebral black metal goliaths Wolves In The Throne Room. The
band joined Wolves midway through their Celestial Lineage Tour and sullied 11
unsuspecting cities with their miasmic scores.
Commented vocalist/guitarist Andrew Costa: "Upon
returning home our only complaint is that it was too short a trip. It was a
singular experience to share the stage with Wolves In The Throne Room, shaping
our shared vision in the often tiny, overcrowded and sweaty spaces. We send our
deepest thanks and appreciation to all those who came out and sweated with us
all over the Southeast and South. Back on the Pacific Northwest, the cool
fall mornings have set in and the rain returned. We are already hard at work on
writing some new material that reflects out recent experiences and explorations
and plotting our next return to the road, be on the lookout."

LSD") HERE.
MEGATON LEVIATHAN recently
reissued their 2009 demo on limited-edition vinyl through their own Volatile
Rock Records. Limited to 500 copies, the 35-minute production takes listeners on
a cerebral journey that transcends far beyond the traditional boundaries
of metal and music in general. Commented Alternative Matter: "If
dissonance, reverb drenched vocal, soundscapes of feedback drenched seclusion
and guitar riffs that could soundtrack the progress of a brontosaurus in search
of food, make you prick up your ears, then Megaton Leviathan are a welcome
addition to your collection." Added Aquarius Records: "...for fans of all things dark and heavy and dreamy and
melodic, droney and drifty and pretty and poppy and trance inducing." Cvlt
Nation said: "every song on this EP is a sunset & sunrise of melodic
euphoria," while the Bone Reader noted: "...five songs of slow-ish spaced-out
heavy psych. There’s a great get-lost-in-it meander to much of it, but ML aren’t
just mindlessly jamming on a doomy riff: these songs have somewhere to go, they
just don’t mind taking their time getting there."
